Rupture (I) (2016)
3/10
As a pilot-episode of some scifi series it could have worked, as a movie it failed.

Warning: Spoilers
This is a very unsatisfying movie. The premise is okay, albeit that we've seen the likes of it (i.e. humans being abducted by aliens) lots of times before and to be honest, much better. The first half of the movie, where we have no clue whatsoever about the identity of the abductors, is bearable, it has uspense and a Kafkian athmosphere. The attempt of Renee to escape is very thrilling, but when some 20 minutes later it's clear that it didn't work and she's back to square one, it all impresses as totally superfluous for the story, simply adding nothing at all. The last ten minutes of the movie we see the changed Renee back in her own home. I won't give the end away, but it's as if the movie is cut-off suddenly then and there, as if we've seen the pilot-episode of a meant-to-be series and the further episodes should bring us gradually all the answers. Now we hardly know anything. Who (or what) are they, where do they come from, what do they want, what's so special about Renee that she (as well as some other victims) is picked out of the whole human population?? It is and stays a total mystery. In short, a failed and unnecessary movie, notwithstanding good acting by Noomi Rapace and some creepy scenes.
